Abstract: Text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis is a technology that converts written text into spoken words, enabling a natural and accessible means of communication. This abstract explores the key aspects of TTS synthesis, encompassing its underlying technologies, applications, and implications for various sectors. The technology utilizes advanced algorithms and linguistic models to convert textual information into life like speech, allowing for enhanced user experiences in diverse contexts such as accessibility tools, navigation systems, and virtual assistants. The abstract delves into the challenges and advancements in TTS synthesis, including considerations for naturalness, multilingual support, and emotional expression in synthesized speech.

Making Social Platforms Accessible: Emotion-Aware Speech Generation with Integrated Text Analysis [3.8251125989631674]
We propose an end-to-end context-aware Text-to-Speech (TTS) synthesis system. It derives the conveyed emotion from text input and synthesises audio that focuses on emotions and speaker features for natural and expressive speech. Our system showcases competitive inference time performance when benchmarked against state-of-the-art TTS models.

Visual-Aware Text-to-Speech [101.89332968344102]
We present a new visual-aware text-to-speech (VA-TTS) task to synthesize speech conditioned on both textual inputs and visual feedback of the listener in face-to-face communication. We devise a baseline model to fuse phoneme linguistic information and listener visual signals for speech synthesis.

Contextual Expressive Text-to-Speech [25.050361896378533]
We introduce a new task setting, Contextual Text-to-speech (CTTS) The main idea of CTTS is that how a person speaks depends on the particular context she is in, where the context can typically be represented as text. We construct a synthetic dataset and develop an effective framework to generate high-quality expressive speech based on the given context.

An Inclusive Notion of Text [69.36678873492373]
We argue that clarity on the notion of text is crucial for reproducible and generalizable NLP. We introduce a two-tier taxonomy of linguistic and non-linguistic elements that are available in textual sources and can be used in NLP modeling.

A Survey on Neural Speech Synthesis [110.39292386792555]
Text to speech (TTS) is a hot research topic in speech, language, and machine learning communities. We conduct a comprehensive survey on neural TTS, aiming to provide a good understanding of current research and future trends. We focus on the key components in neural TTS, including text analysis, acoustic models and vocoders, and several advanced topics, including fast TTS, low-resource TTS, robust TTS, expressive TTS, and adaptive TTS, etc.

Spoken Style Learning with Multi-modal Hierarchical Context Encoding for Conversational Text-to-Speech Synthesis [59.27994987902646]
The study about learning spoken styles from historical conversations is still in its infancy. Only the transcripts of the historical conversations are considered, which neglects the spoken styles in historical speeches. We propose a spoken style learning approach with multi-modal hierarchical context encoding.
